My 3 year old is going to be a witch and my 5 year old will be a cat.

Oops, previous poster here, just saw that you already chose wolf! Glad it worked it. Enjoy

Agree with others that animals. Princess, unicorn, paw patrol and Encanto will likely be popular

I have a 4 year old and agree with this. Skye from Paw Patrol (we also did it last year) there are a variety and wheelchair accessible are available, try target. Unicorn, Disney Princess. I don’t know if there are accessible dinosaur customs but dinosaurs are favorites as well. Encanto for sure.

--mermaid

--wolf
--Pete the Cat

The choosing process will probably take a couple days, but I'll report back!

Nix the first two. They blatantly and offensively reinforce heteronormative stereotypes.

1. Read the thread; the post directly above yours tells you what she picked, and
2. Go away, you are offensive and insufferable.

Bluey, Bingo, or one of the Paw Patrol pups are very popular at this age. GL!

OP again. Choosing is *not* going to be a days-long process! I gave my kid four choices this morning, and she quickly gravitated toward wolf, "saying" it multiple times with Pete the Cat mixed in quite a bit, mermaid a few times, and princess not at all. I tried again this afternoon and this evening and got the exact same mix both times.

So, wolf it is!! (When I ask directly if she wants to be a wolf for Halloween, I get a big smile.)

And thanks to the PP with the kind words above. It's so nice when we can find ways for our disabled kids to participate in normal childhood stuff.

As someone with a kid with disabilities that is totally unable to communicate a costume choice, I just want to say that you are a great mom!!! I love how you are working with her AAC device to support her making her own choices.

My daughter was a witch last year and this year she is being a mummy.

My girl that age is going to be a black cat.

OP, any of these would be adorable. Definitely let us know what she ends up going as.

I wish her a very Happy Halloween!
